Quick Updates and Some Deep Thoughts

* The house is getting drywall soon (this week). This means that we can start to do some finish stuff! That is what I am looking forward too.

* I am not very good at picking out colors for my walls when there is no home decor to compare anything too. Seriously hard to pick a color for your walls when there are none.

* Cadence is using a lot of phrases - such as "Here ya go", "No Piper eat", "Stop it" and I cannot remember the others right now.

* Play dates and coffee meetings are two things that really encourage me and I am not sure I could live without right now.

Our Sunday School is talking about the resurrection, heaven, hell and other light subjects. Last Sunday there was a really neat conversation we had as a group. I don't have all the Scripture on this. I need to research more. But for the time being I will just think and type. When we get to heaven we will be complete. Our bodies will not be ravished by disease, falling apart or being eaten by cancer. We will run and not grow weary - serve and not get tired. Our minds will be whole and not tempted to gossip, slander, jealousy, or comparing. Our souls will find rest when we are finally home and among those who believe in Jesus. We will all worship the King - in a whole complete beautiful - non-distracted way. What a wonderful thought that when we are made whole by our Creator that we will be able to live to our potential. We will no longer be disappointed in ourselves on a daily basis for our choices or failures. We will no longer be guilty of pride for thinking that what good we did was done in our own strength. That is what completeness will look like.

Speaking of play dates, I was planning to call you today and see if we could find a time! (Sorry I just didn't get to it...)

We are looking forward to seeing you guys again. It will be exciting to see how your house has come along, too! Keep those thoughts coming, Tif. You have touched on several areas that we have been dealing with in church lately. I really liked your perspective on them.
